I guess it's just coincidence the earth started warming more rapidly after the industrial revolution...and don't worry ice caps are supposed to melt no biggie
This video is ignorant, certainly CO2 is important, it is necessary for photosynthesis in plants, but the issue is what high levels do in the atmosphere. Arguing over the word "pollutant" is irrelevant.
...why do you still rely on these bullshit arguments? Has anyone ever suggested co2 in and of itself was bad-no!...now go and drink your 50 liter jug of water.
@leeharveyosmosis no, but they suggest it floats around in our atmosphere... CO2 SINKS IN AIR!!!! If we had a problem we'd know. You know why we'd know? Because we'd be drowning in it.
this video is really fucking stupid!! Large amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere traps the heat on the surface on the planet instead letting it release into space!!
@Bomyster3000 Yes, but using that, most heat would also prevent itself from entering into the atmosphere. So the globe, if anything, might actually become more stabilized in terms of temperature, since less heat can enter and escape as a whole.
i cant believe the stupidity in this world. hype? hahahahaha
Watch me drink this glass of red wine. See...red wine isn't bad for you. In fact, doctors say it's good for your heart. Now watch me chug this case of red wine.....
Silly, that too much co2 im the air warms the earth has nothing to do with weather or not it is harmful to humans or animals. Of course the natural amount of co2 in the air is harmless. It's the heating effect that is the problem.
In scientific terms, when something becomes too abundant and starts causing adverse effects, it's classed as a pollutant. Oxygen is essential for humans, too much and it's toxic. Salt is essential for the human body, too much and it will kill you. Comprende?
I've never heard anybody say that CO2 is bad. It's the concentration of CO2 and it's volume in the atmosphere being out of balance.
I really like the statement that, "without CO2 there would be no green plants," followed by the image of a clear-cut -- exactly what the world's forests would look like without heavy government regulation on industry, imposing fees, federal and provincial parks programs, etc...
loll im not for or agaisnt c02 but what is that shitty brainwashing video lol... c02 puts the bubble in soda ... wtf who fuckn cares haha seriously this made me laff...
Science shocker: Drought drives decade-long decline in plant growth
This could drive an amplifying feedback, undermine biofuels strategy
August 19, 2010
Earth has done an ecological about-face: Global plant productivity that once flourished under warming temperatures and a lengthened growing season is now on the decline, struck by the stress of drought.
NASA-funded researchers Maosheng Zhao and Steven Running, of the University of Montana in Missoula, discovered the global shift during an analysis of NASA satellite data. Compared with a six-percent increase spanning two earlier decades, the recent ten-year decline is slight — just one percent. The shift, however, could impact food security, biofuels, and the global carbon cycle.
“We see this as a bit of a surprise, and potentially significant on a policy level because previous interpretations suggested that global warming might actually help plant growth around the world,” Running said.
“These results are extraordinarily significant because they show that the global net effect of climatic warming on the productivity of terrestrial vegetation need not be positive — as was documented for the 1980’s and 1990’s,” said Diane Wickland, of NASA Headquarters and manager of NASA’s Terrestrial Ecology research program.
most of those things are rubbish. C02 doesnt keep things fresh or put out fires..a lack of oxygen does that. you are replacing oxygen with c02..you could replace it with something else easily and have the same effect..
As usual, absolute statements mislead one to unfortunate conclusions which are inevitably fallacious.
It is the PROPORTION of substances present in compounds which establish toxicity and not the identity of the substances.
Example: Carbon Monoxide, with an equal amount of Carbon and Oxygen is more toxic than is Carbon Dioxide, with twice the Oxygen TO species within and of the ANIMAL kingdom.
A fully qualified statement is more intricate, and therefore more accurate than any generalization.
Oxygen, if not buffered by Nitrogen, accelerates combustion of plant materials or any matter to the point of total consumption.
Excess Carbon has the effect of slowing down the processes of animal tissue, given the large proportion of the element in the composition of animal tissue.
Too much of a good thing, like excess Sugar, can kill.
To say that CO2 is NOT a pollutant is a pure falsehood, as the statement does not designate to which type of organism the generalized statement refers.
I didn't believe that anyone commenting on this video subject matter would not already be aware of the Oxygen Carbon cycle
Well, I just got a message in my inbox that suggests that this person is just becoming aware of the fact that plants ingest Carbon Dioxide, as if that would be news.
CO2, IS a pollutant, so far as animals are concerned, just as Oxygen is a pollutant so far as plants are concerned, and Plants convert the pollutant to a useful form for animals, while animals reciprocate.
le pire vidéo du monde!! bravo on a du Co2 dans notre bière pis les arbres ont besoin de CO2. mais toi met toi d'une pièce avec juste du Co2 on va voir si t'aime ca!!
Hm - Foxglove contains Digitalin, which cures many heart diseases - so why would I tell my children, that it's poisonous and that they shouldn't eat it?
CO2 may have beneficial uses, but also causes a geenhouse effect, which will obviously increase, if the amount of CO2 in the athmosphere increases.
And besides: the video claims to contain logic and common sense - to me, that means finding arguments to disprove myths, instead it presents a few unrelated facts to conclude "everything is fine".
@Kaceyno, CO2 is not in the least bit dangerous to human, animal, or plant health at any levels which could ever be plausibly reached in the earth's atmosphere. CO2 has nothing whatsoever to do with the cleanliness of the air.
What's more, additional CO2 has little effect on temperatures, because there is already enough CO2 in the atmosphere to block the escape of nearly all IR radiation at the wavelengths to which CO2 is opaque. Adding more just doesn't make much difference.
@MARKETEX With additional CO2, you get additional and larger green plants to feed all the animals, which causes MORE animals. CO2 smothers flames because it is denser than oxygen and pushes oxygen up and away from the flames. It will do the same to us if we try to breathe it without oxygen. Question your science education.
@Lexicologist71 With the levels suggested by you guys, the experimenters, properly fitted with gear will return to their home base to discover the casualties of your science education.
Gas Preindustrial level Current level Increase since 1750
Carbon dioxide 280 ppm 388 ppm 108 ppm
Our industry produces more co2 parts per million than plants manage to consume.
Higher amounts of co2 trap more heat on the earth.
If the earth becomes warmer the sea rises, fish and plants get extinct or displaced, and basically mess up our food supply leading to economic issues like mass immigration.
@RomeoSOF2 Nobody said it was an industrial waste or some other stereotypical type of pollution. OBVIOUSLY it is harmless to breathe (unless in like 20 000 parts per million) and good for plants and so on. It just has a big price when over produced.
@RomeoSOF2 Ah hang on it was actually not harmful to breathe at that level either though may cause dissyness. It was harmful at like 70 000 (7% of the atmosphere) level. Which would give visual and hearing dysfunction and make you lose counciousness in an hour.
I was a little disappointed that the video didn't even address that WE EXHALE CO2!!! We exhale it and PLANTS INHALE IT; when plants inhale CO2 they create OXYGEN for us to breath - it is THE CYCLE OF LIFE.
The poor deluded masses are being brainwashed to be against Carbon DIOXIDE when it is the building block of life when the true pollutant is Carbon MONOXIDE.
This is why they forced Obama into office; because to criticize the pseudoscience of CO2-hysteria is to be "racist". Fuck every corporate slave that regurgitates Obama's talking points and propaganda without questioning. Obama looks like OJ Simpson and lies like him too.
There are people here arguing about "logic" when all that has been presented are known facts and a plea to "Question the hype." That reminds me of a guy I know who once said "I don't want to think about my opinions, because they might change!" Can we please forget about CO2 and move on to things like mercury pollution now?
The logic of this video is unbelievably bad. Deadly poisons have many good uses, but I don't recommend exposure to high amounts of them. CO2 is not ,of course, deadly when inhaled and does have many uses. That does not change the fact that dumping millions of tonnes of the stuff into our atmosphere is a very bad idea.
But, which global warming are you talking about? Is it the warming of the planet Mars, or Jupiter, or Saturn, or Earth? Actually, if you did any real investigation and research you will find ALL of them are getting warmer. The solar system is getting warmer. Now, try to tell me HOW humans caused that to happen. Ohhh, and do not forget to sell your guilt by purchasing carbon credit, indulgences,s from Al Gore. Can I sell you a bridge too???
Unfortunately for your 'argument' the various planets that can be shown to be warming (Mars for instance) are not doing so at a consistent rate . There is, in fact, no evidence that the warming of various planets is due to a common cause. So, logically, it is just as likely that Earth's warming is due to human action as anything else.
The Earth has been warming and cooling since bacteria started reproducing on this planet. These same scientists that are NOW saying global warming said it was global cooling in the 70's and we will have a glacier ice sheet down to the
Dakotas by the year 2000. We have barely gotten out of the little Ice Age that started in the 1300's. This is all a mute point, Mans effect on the planet is like two fleas on a dog arguing over who gets to steer.
@cupera1 Venus is cooling, and the Sun's TSI has not risen or fallen significantly in the last 30 years. Yet we are still warming on Earth. p.s. we don't kinow if Mars is warming or cooling.
@elkellenhabla If you're talking about proof that CO2 is not a polutant, watch v=LPNiBVU2QIA. Without CO2 there can be no life, and since it's a non-combustable gas it can't produce emissions nor could it be used in food products. If it was, none of us could be around even a lit match when we exhaled.
